Number Of Ingredients 15

2 large blocks extra-firm tofu (14 ounces each), drained and split horizontally
2 tablespoons jalapeno jelly
1 tablespoon ketchup
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon sugar
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 teaspoon minced jalapeno or serrano chile
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 small jicama (1 pound), peeled and julienned
2 large carrots, julienned
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped mint
4 kaiser rolls, split

Steps:

  • Set the tofu on a cutting board and top with a cookie sheet and 2 or 3 heavy cans. Let stand for 1 hour or until the tofu is very firm and the liquid has been pressed out. Pat the tofu dry.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the jalapeno jelly with the ketchup, soy sauce, sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of the lime juice.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sugar with the garlic and minced jalapeno. Using the side of a spoon, mash the mixture to a paste.
  • Add the fish sauce and the remaining 1 tablespoon of lime juice. Stir in the jicama, carrots, cilantro, and mint.
  • Light a grill.
  • Brush the tofu and the cut sides of the rolls with the vegetable oil. Lightly grill the rolls, about 2 minutes.
  • Grill the tofu over a hot fire until lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes. Brush on the jalapeno jelly glaze and grill, turning and brushing until nicely glazed, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on both halves of each roll. Mound the jicama slaw on the rolls and top with the tofu steaks. Close the sandwiches, cut in half and serve.
